I regret I purchased my Speedy 30 Bandouliere in damier ebene. I bought it last summer and loved it all through december until I sold it at a very good price, I think.



1) the opening is so narrow that I could barely fit a aweater or my daighter''s jacket into it or find anything there.



2) in summer when it was hot, the sharp edges of the strap stuck into my shoulder. A very painful feeling, and the skin on my shoulder was red and sore. :cry: I did not overstuff my bag and had only regular items that I usually take with me.



3) after 6 months of delicate but regular wear I started to notice a tiny crack on the canvas near the interior pocket. :wtf: On the edges I could see the red lining sticking through. I could not believe my eyes, cos my SA told that the bag is so durabble that my daughter will inherit after me. :pout: :tdown:



I'm happy I was able to quickly sell it at a very good price, cos the cracks were barely noticeable.



The quality is becoming poor indeed


+1. I feel similarly to you about my speedy b 30 in damier ebene. I want to sell it but have been quoted very low prices from resale sites. I'm just too nervous to sell through eBay though. I'm the type of person who prefers to sell items I don't use much rather than just have it sitting there collecting dust in my closet!
 
MC white cosmetic pouch - the corners became stained pink after using it in some of bags, way too delicate of a piece. Also found the shape too bulky as I don't carry that much makeup with me.

Epi Eugenie wallet in Cassis - the big silver buckle scratched easily and was too heavy and cumbersome compared to the rest of the wallet. Plus even though I love the look of a long wallet, prefer the convenience of compact wallets for my smaller bags.

Speedy 30 DE - my first LV bag, so much emotional attachment to this one, never thought I'd sell it. Hated it just being handheld so never used it. Ended up selling it at a great price and bought the speedy b 25, which I love.

Mono Cles - never used it, just held coins. Ended up getting a Hermes Bastia which ?I loved the functionality of it more.

Pochette Accessoires DA - old model with smaller strap and smaller compartment. Absolutely loved the bag but wanted the NM.

6 key holder DE - was my most loved SLG, used it everyday, became so worn , glazing peeling, stitching undone, canvas chipped, after 6 years. Couldn't deal with the wear and couldn't get myself to invest again in a piece that I knew would become so worn. Found one at a Coach outlet for $28 that I use happily.
 
Oh yah, you reminded me (I obviously haven't used it this way in awhile)...can also use the dragonne wrist thingy, or chain key chain on it to use as wristlet. I had also purchased an Eva strap I can use on it (and use it on my favorite mm) for days when just a phone and a cc card is needed.

This is true!!! Do they sell those leather key wristlets still? Thanks again miss chiff❤️

Oh yah...good question! Here is the link to the Dragonne on the US site, says 'call to purchase' :

Somewhere in the milla thread I had posted pics of it with the Dragonne and strap (been awhile, think '14).
 
It's not really a regret per se, but I bought by never full mm in mono because I read so many threads of the ebene one having issues with strap peeling etc but I wish I had just gotten the ebene problems and all. Every time I see someone carrying one, I feel a little pain inside that I didn't go for that and got mono instead.

Dont feel bad... I had the same dilema deciding between mono and DE... I got the DE, and we get used to it, now I feel I should have gotten the mono instead... I am sure if I had got the mono couple yrs ago, i will be wanting the DE right now...

Now I am trying to decide between DA with pink linning or the mono with Pivoine Linning..

and I know the same thing is going to happen after I have it for while
The explanation its simple, we wanna all of them, they are sooooo beautiful [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji162][emoji162][emoji162][emoji162]

I bought the DE a few years ago and the only issue I ever had was having to replace the handles due to cracking. I recently bought a mono NF because it's a bit more casual to carry and I don't have to worry about the handles cracking by carry a heavy load. Love it just wish I would have waited for the azur with rose ballerine. It's so beautiful.
 
+1 on DE Eva



I bought it when it first came out and I realized it was too small for me so I sold it. Then someone got me the same bag a few years later and I sold it again LOL



It's a cute bag, but I don't think it's for me. I'm 5'5"/size 2 and I don't think it looks good on me when I wear it cross body. Also, I hated how the plate gets all scratched up.



+1 on the DE Eva. Such a love/hate relationship. Bought it twice and sold it twice within 6 months!
 
The portobello pm, the handle does not stay on my shoulder, so it sits in my closet untouched...what a waste of money ..

Not sure if you heard of purse gummy but they're sticky gel like things that you put on the underside is the handle to keep the strap from slipping. Don't know if it will leave any marks on the strap but might be worth a try than sitting unused in the closet.
 
DA delightful MM. I purchased it right when it was released. It was my first azur anything, it's a beautiful bag but it sat in my closet for 6 mths, I sold it and never looked back. I should've started with a smaller piece before jumping into a bag. I was too worried about color transfer and the how it would age. (I'm clumsy)
